MSU has been working on the Login Simplification project so that students, staff, and faculty have fewer usernames and passwords to deal with on campus. The scheduled transition period for changing our network logins to NetID is the week of March 17th, 2014.
Your NetID will become your login!
Systems affected:
- Logging into Facilities Windows computers will require knowing your NetID.
- Accessing the wireless MSU-SECURE) WiFi with your iDevices will require your NetID.
- Accessing your email remotely will require your NetID.
- Accessing the MSU network remotely via VPN will require your NetID.
- Logins to the i5 (AS400/Green Screen) WILL NOT change.
- Banner and MyInfo WILL NOT change.
- Email addresses WILL NOT change.

Helps and Hints from Facilities IT
- NetID Lookup Tool
- Find your NetID before March 17th. Either use the link on the MSU Login Simplification Website or contact anyone in Facilities IT and we will be glad to look it up for you.
- On the day that the change to NetID happens, reboot your computer to clear out your old user login from memory.
- Your Outlook email will ask you for your new NetID and password. Enter them in and check the “Remember Me” box. If it is having trouble accepting your new login you may need to reboot your computer to clear out your old user login from memory.
- Your NetID will become your login, but your email address WILL NOT change! Your login may be similar to z66y622, but your email will remain similar to ‘first.last@montana.edu’.
